Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we will discuss what you hope to accomplish with therapy and your current needs. Together, we will come up with a plan for the best ways to get you there. I provide services using a secure online platform, where you can seek help in the comfort of your own home.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Your healing journey is your own. I use a client centered approach, which allows you autonomy to heal your way. I also use a mind-body approach to healing, by creating a safe space to slow down and connect with yourself, in a way that fosters healing and growth from the inside out. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and use a trauma informed approach that empowers you to set your own goals and manage your progress at your own pace.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist (LMHC Hawaii) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counsellor (LPCC Ohio), with over 15 years in the field, treating adults and teenagers, specializing in Trauma Counseling, Women’s Issues, Parenting Issues, Life Challenges and Severe Mental Illness.

My treatment methods
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a powerful tool that can help you unpack, release and rewire emotional pain stored in your brain and body. Our nervous system is wired to respond to perceived threats. Brainspotting allows us a safe space to explore these deep emotions, then releases and rewires our nervous system to respond in a healthier way.
Trauma Informed Care
As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), I use a trauma informed approach that empowers you to set your own goals and manage your progress at your own pace.
Attachment-based
Attachment therapy explores how your childhood experiences might affect your ability to form meaningful bonds as an adult. By creating a safe and secure therapeutic relationship, you will be able to explore your attachment to others.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Empowering first session where Kim's passion shone through, providing a safe, healing space. She greets you with warmth, confidentiality and non‑judgment, creating room to explore ideas and feelings freely. I left the session feeling heard, stronger, and more confident because she genuinely acknowledged me. im's warmth, compassion, and empowering style were so refreshing that I booked my next session right away.

It only allows me to select two on the style but it's worth noting that Kimberly has also been warm, authentic, and open. I feel I can trust her which has been very helpful for me starting this journey again on my own. Her insight has been helpful to my understanding and I appreciate her.
